Thoughts Other Than...

Today I don't feel like stressing and giving light to myeloma or feeling crappy.
A lot has happened this summer some good and some so very bad.

The Good:
-Recently promoted- which actually took place months prior but I feel like throwing that in
-Finally getting process up in running for non-profit Mae's Breath in regards to 501 c 3
-Traveling to Hong Kong for about 2 weeks- business but no complaints from me :)
-Going to the renowned Nobu Restaurant in Hong Kong- yum!
-Seeing how God is working my mind with handling the good along with the bad- and how deep is 
  my faith when it comes to adversities
-Reviewing my stance on supportive friends and family... they do exist
-Traveling to the Bahamas for vacation... doctor approved and all
-Eating good food
-Celebrating this forth of July with a 70's Themed BBQ
-Limiting social alcohol intake- I guess that's good too... really it is :)
-Completing our kitchen floor project
- Putting to bed some of my mom's paperwork- miss her.
-Increasing my weekly healthy weekend walks with  my husband 
- Just living and being able to do things so many cannot. I'm extremely grateful and fortunate

  

                                              Nobu... once in life time experience- trust me!
                                                            W Hotel.... Must I say more

                     Not in my palette but couldn't help taking photo of this masterpiece displayed
The beauty of Asia

 
70's theme BBQ- Battle wounds and all
Another Home Project down


                                     Today 8-17-2014 my blue nail polish makes me feel good today

                                                May this be a blessed week for you all... me too

Plugging Multiple Myeloma

I had a wonderful conversation with a new friend on the trials of myeloma, and it was interesting that we’ve both experienced to some degree the nonchalant reactions when faced with our disease. The saying to walk a mile in one's own moccasins could never be far from the truth, sometimes you get the feeling that no one cares or your cause and or experience is not of interest...., or better yet taken seriously.... I'm reviewing various sources to promote Another Face of Multiple Myeloma , and after extensive research I found there a not many books on patient related experiences, which I find odd, with the exception of popular myeloma blogger Pat Killingsley, I found just two other personal stories from author's penned memoirs on myeloma, and one unfortunately passed away and the other I'm desperately trying to gather contact information. I was in the process of working with a top myeloma foundation to present my book to readers that could possbly relate to my experi...

Out of Commision

Hello Fellow Readers, Excuse the short absence. I was ill with some kind of strange viral infection- that no one knows for sure what it was..... This was one time I knew for sure MM was about to be the death of me! What started off as a quick turn sore throat to losing my voice in 1 day, to an ear infection the next day, to horrendous back spasms- i cannot tell you how much pain i was in. Now this may not have had anything to do with MM, but the back spasm and me crawling and dropping to the floor due to the pain.... I cannot tell you how crazy the experience has been. My concern was even more intense with the back spasms, as it was at my lower spine, where I already have small indications of lesions, so you can imagine how scary this was. I recovered from this, but hope there was no damage done, but my practioner assured me if there was fractions, I would not be about to bend and do some of the tests he had me do. I'll need to share this experience with my oncologist in th...

My Story is Your Story.... Or Is it?

Okay, it's clear those with mm have experienced different journeys than others, whether doctor care, medicine faux paus, infections, lesions, renal issues, anemia, Thrombosis, or no signs of  lingering harsh effects at all. My pain in the $#^ with myeloma as of this Tuesday April 23 is just the slight uncomfortable discomfort ever so lightly in the lower chest area, like someone gave me a hard push in the chest, or the slight pain at the lower back, where the lesion is being watched once a year with hopes it doesn't act up and calling for treatment. My only treatment thus far has been radiation at the chest sternum, and me hoping my skin turns back to normal, well 2 1/2 years in, I've realized this isn't going to happen! Radiation burn is just that a horrible burn! Health coverage - no issues yet, but than again I'm not on medicine so not sure of the bull that comes with having to be medicated for a specific amount of time. Bone marrow transplan...
